Adepeju my dear friend, it's taken me so long to find the right words . .. You were such a caring friend but above all you loved the Lord, a true woman of faith, a true Winner indeed, you fought all the way and held on with unshakable faith, we thank God for your life, although short but was very impactful. You impacted by life so positively , God used you to strengthen my faith and I know you are being rewarded with your mansion and the crown of glory. Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing but A woman that fears the Lord shall be praised. Prv31v30, you were a true epitome of the virtuous woman! Rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ . Goodbye

Peju, it is difficult to accept that you have gone.
I am yet to find anyone as selfless as you,nothing was too daunting or impossible, you were up to any challenge ,no matter what came your way, you always had a smile on your face.
As a friend, one could not have had a better friend,my family was your family,my pain was your pain,my joy was your joy.
Even in the initial stage of your sickness, you still went to look after my mum when she was not feeling too well.
You served God with a passion that put the rest of us to shame,you served him with everything that you had.
God knows best, he put us on earth for a reason , you have served your purpose, those of us that were fortunate to know you are truly blessed.
Peju, you have fought the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Rest in Peace, my lovely, lovely friend.

As we try to make sense of your passing, we should be reminded of the gift of life given to us by God that should be celebrated. You are truly blessed with friends and family that truly loves you unconditionally out of whom is your dear sister Mrs Mosunmola Ayoola whom I surely know would have given everything to keep you here with us. At the time of your sickness, she prayed, cried, interceded, fasted and did everything within her power for your recovery, But as much as she and the rest of the family loves you, God loves you more and has given you the victory and choose to take you away from this evil & sinful world unto His bosom, where pain and sickness does not have any power over you anymore. Paul the apostle said it best in the book of 1Corinthians 15:53-55 “For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.55 “Where, O death, is your victory?  Where, O death, is your sting?”
My prayer is that the Good Lord will console the family and grant them the fortitude to bear this great loss.
Rest in Peace.

I am Still very shocked and greatly saddened to hear about Aunty Peju's passing to glory. My heart is heavy, but with total submission to the will of God; He giveth and He taketh. Aunty Peju was very loving and honest. The last time I saw her was at Elephant & Castle shopping complex and we had a good chat. She was always concerned about thewell being of others. Many years ago during Ileya Festival, She always asked me 'Lekan, have you eaten? Do you want rice or just meat? We all went to Ojude Oba in Ijebu Ode in those days.
Didun ni iranti olododo ... I pray the Lord gives us all the fortitude to bear this great loss. You will always live in our hearts.
Continue to rest in the Lord Dear Aunty Peju.

Sister Peju, your passing came as a surprise. I am glad I got to you in time and we met. In many ways, we act and think as mortals and so we struggle for this and for that. I believe dear Peju that you are more enlightened than many and you have finished the race here. I join in light to light a Candle. Adieu.

To Aunty Peju,

I really still can't believe that you are gone. Ever since I remember, you have been taking care of and loving me more than I could even understand. You're presence was always a comforting one, and I always knew that when i wasn't happy, or life wasn't going my way, somebody was out there praying for me. You were kind, you were loving, you were selfless, but most of all, you were God-fearing. Its because of that fact that I am not here to mourn your death, but to celebrate your rebirth with our Lord Jesus Christ. Have fun in Paradise, we will miss you.

I have never met anyone like you who could fill the room with so much joy and happiness. I remember how you told my brother and I so many jokes when we came to visit this summer. I am so glad I got to see you one last time. You were so strong and caring, I remember thinking to myself “how I wish I could be as strong as she is, if I am then I can surely handle whatever comes my way.”I know you are resting peacefully with God. I love you and miss you dearly.
RIP Aunty Peju

Aunty Peju!

Wow. I miss you so much. But at the same time I'm so happy you get to be with Jesus, enjoying Him face to face. I thank God sooo much for making you my Aunty.
You taught me about Jesus and why it is important to love and fear God, for that I will be forever grateful. Every morning I still wake up and say "Good morning Jesus, good morning Lord, good morning Holy Spirit". You taught me that when I was like 3 years old!
I have way too much in my heart to say. For now, I love you, and I hope to be a shining example to others, as you were an example to me.

Thank you so much Aunty Peju.
Till we meet again.
Rest easy. ❤♥♥❤♥♥❤

Peju,i know sometimes life can be cruel,but you are too loving and lovely not to enjoy the fruits of all your 'lovelies'.I remember you to be a prayer warrior,I remember when we used to travel almost every week to pray on the mountain top,just because you want this life to smile at you but this life decided to be cruel.My Sister,you have won the race of life,for you've made Heaven,the rest is history!.You used to call me Madam Commissioner,that I looked like one.I was innately saying amen to your prophetic utterances and was looking forward to 'us' joking about it when anyone of us get to that place of authority where The Lord has destined us to be,but death came calling and took you away.Anyway,the death that took you away leaves a heartache which cannot be healed,but your love for everyone leaves a memory which no one can steal.Rest on till we meet at the other side of Jordan!.Adieu Peju!!.

My Dearest Cousin Peju

This is a great loss to all.
This world has lost a gem.
A truly loving, optimistic, open-minded, helpful, caring and supportive person you were.
A kinder person, I have never met in this world.
A positive force you were in the lives of anyone and everyone lucky enough to interact with you.
From our childhood to our last meeting earlier on this year, I never heard you say an unkind word about anyone or any situation. I never saw you angry. I never saw an iota of negativity.
You lived your life as an positive role model for those that come after you.
Your faith was a major positive force in you life.
Our CREATOR knows best and if there is any fairness in this world and the next, I expect that you are now looking down over us from the comfort of the best locations in paradise.
It is my hope and prayer that I will be judged worthy to meet with you again in paradise.

To my loving cousins: we all bear this loss but no one as deep as you. I pray for all the necessary fortitude to carry on until we all meet again. E pele o. Kunle, Deola, Tunji, Bro Niyi ati Bro Adewale.

Dear Sister Peju,

Words fail me at this moment............I still struggle to believe you're gone. Indeed, you were more of a sister than sister-in-law and I thank God for our relationship. I will miss your kind heart, warmth, big smiles and show of love through your prayers and constant reaching-out. Even on your sick bed, you managed to keep a smile on your face and you were always curious to know about the wellbeing of others.

I am deeply saddened by your loss but I take solace in the fact that you knew our Savior Jesus Christ and that you're resting in heaven.

You will forever be missed.

With love from Oyinade

All I recall of the first ever meeting you was you constantly saying you and my mum were friends since university and that you remember when I was a little baby. What I do clearly remember was that ever time I met or spoke to you from then, you filled the room, me or whomever you were speaking with joy and laughter. When my sister and brother came back from visiting you last summer they told me that though you were ill you still filled them to with same joy and laughter that you usually did. Even when you called to talk to me two months ago, when I still thought I could get back to Nigeria and have my own moment with you, you made me laugh calling me 'Efiko' and showering me with prayers and calling yourself 'Pastor Peju'.
I'm sad I didn't get to see you one last time but I'm glad you're resting peacefully now and probably making jokes and making the Angels laugh. I love you Aunty.

They say when those with the brightest hearts pass, the world gets a little darker. The world is truly less bright today.
I thank God for the days when you taught me to read my bible and how you would always come and pray with me when i was sick . Till today I hear your voice telling me to be greater.
I have no doubt in my mind that you are with God. Just reading about how you touched everyone here makes me smile.
I miss you.

Rest easy Aunty Peju

Sister Peju,
To everyone you knew as your blood relation, you always showed love. Those that aren't were not left out of your love. Your smile always brought good tidings to people's heart. You were always ready to assist either through prayers or other ways of concern.
Words can never express how deep you will be missed. But, my prayer is that heaven should be your abode as your soul rests in peace.

My very sweet aunt, words can't convey how sad I am. My only consolation is that you're with Jesus. Your words,prayers n your unique smile would forever live with me. Aunty Peju,now that you're gone,who will I call to pray for me the way you do? Your T-boy will forever miss u!

• Peju Kuku-Omotehinse is Gone
It is with a heavy heart I announce the passing on of one of our fellow pioneers, Peju Kuku Omotehinse. Peju left this world after a brief illness last week. Those of us in the Pioneer Sciences especially Chemistry will remember her as one of the Three Musketeers. She had the most beautiful toothy smile.
Peju, you will be missed. .

My Dear Friend and Sister,

Rashida, as I fondly called you from childhood till the last moment, born a moslem, grew up to become a giant in the Kingdom of God and a terror to the kingdom of darkness.
Anytime I called to have a word of prayer with you in the last one year, you have exhibited strong and unwavering faith in the Lord even in the midst of trials and tribulations. My consolation is in the fact that you made it right with your CREATOR and I have no doubt that you are resting in HIS bossom.

Ore mi, Sun re o until we meet on the Resurrection Day

Wow. The shock is still revibrating. You were supposed to be my sister-In-law being my wife's sister. Rather you were my sister-in-fact. The bond we established some 22 years ago remained strong till you joined your maker. Of course i wished you did not leave your sis and I this early. I however take solace in the fact that you lived a life of profound committment to everything that is of Christ. What i failed to inform you is the fact that i developed the habit of bible studies after watching how diligent you were at it when we lived together in Omole. Are you smiling? More than the smile is the joy in heaven and thw testimonial that you nutured a mere lay reader into becoming a student of the Word.
Rest in peace.

"OKAY" was the last word i heard from you my darling sis and friend P.J Kuku on Sunday (21/11/15). I struggled to come over to the hospital but what kept me back i could not explain, hoping to see you during the week. Only to receive your brothers call on that fateful morning . "Aunty Yinka , Sister Peju passed on this morning"
Peju, who will i call to pray with me when worries flood in? Sis you forget yourself to help others.Where will i start from?
From our days as pioneers of LASU . You are always there to help- Don't worry come to our house, you like travelling sha, the holiday is too short, all my short holidays always in their house. The 3 Musketers our nickname from Dr Olubajo , Nike where are you? NEPA road ......
You gave my first child her yoruba name, also my last baby you are the first person after the medical personnels to see him and also named him.
We prayed for you daily but sure God want you to come and rest. About a month ago my first son still send a message " How is my love Aty Peju? My reply was keep on praying for her. I will ooooh was his response.
OMO Baba Kuku daughter of the youngest Kuku according to my husband. Jesus loves you and i am sure you also love him and till the end.
It is a debt we will all go one day,somehow,when and how we don not know.
Rest in peace my darling friend and Sis.

Peju Kuku, Peju, Madam Peju, for those 4 amazing years at school, you and your 'sisters' were some of my closest friends. You were much more than a friend - you were my sister (aburo or egbon depending on my stomach)! We swotted together for Olubi's Chemistry tests and pulled each other up when things did not go quite well. You were always the neutral counselor even when your closest friends were involved and when we strayed, you always managed to remind us that God was above everything. Nepa Road was our favourite destination for all things gourmet but also just to study.

Making the link to your brother so many years later and actually seeing you again in 2008; 2 decades later was a miracle. How did we not know? The first thing that hit me when I saw you was that toothy smile of yours...speaking with you again as if time had stood still.

I remember you so well as a peace loving, patient and forever smiling lady. That toothy smile is gone forever? I am still finding it hard to believe but as cliche as it may sound, I really believe that our Lord felt your work was done down here. The rest of us are still working on His great project for humanity. I have so much to say and will do that in the stories section. I have so many memories.of/with you at a time we were all growing up and discovering life.

I do pray that you find the rest you deserve; the way you gave those around you joy and happiness.
Peju, rest in peace. Missing you already.
I do pray for your family and friends that they can somehow learn to live without you here. Farewell Peju...

My very Dear sister,

I love you so much but God The Almighty Father of all Fathers loves much more because you served Him with everything you had and could have had.

We can not dare query Him but let His wisdom and love prevail.

This is the biggest loss for me in my life and I pray to Him, the Greatest One, to give me and my family the fortitude to bear the pains of not being able to physically see and touch you even though your presence will forever be felt in our lives.

You have taken the elder role now, and I pray that everybody that feels your sacrifice will also inherit the Kingdom of God The Almighty as you have done.

Omo borogun la nseso, siwo siwo la nse owo, bi ako ri egbewa sowo, bi ole la nri, sasa eniyan ni nki eni lawujo ise, Bi aba ni owo lowo, teru tomo ni nki eni,

Omo opa fitila feyin oju tan ina,

Omo alagbo dagbo yanmu yanmu tojubo,  

Omo Oyinbo ita ntebo,

Omo anjuwon ko se wi lejo, ija ilara ko tan boro,

Omo a tu nwon ka nibiti won gbe ndana iro,

Omo ti o mba oni ika se po.
